< Genesis 12 >

1 Olúwa sì wí fún Abramu, “Jáde kúrò ní orílẹ̀-èdè rẹ àti kúrò lọ́dọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn rẹ, lọ sí ilẹ̀ kan tí èmi yóò fihàn ọ́.
Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and out of thy birthplace, and from thy father's house, unto the land that I will show thee.
2 “Èmi yóò sọ ọ́ di orílẹ̀-èdè ńlá, èmi yóò sì bùkún fún ọ; èmi yóò sọ orúkọ rẹ di ńlá, ìbùkún ni ìwọ yóò sì jásí.
And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3 Èmi yóò bùkún fún àwọn tí ó súre fún ọ, ẹni tí ó fi ọ́ ré ni Èmi yóò fi ré; nínú rẹ ni a ó bùkún gbogbo ìdílé ayé.”
And I will bless those that bless thee, and him that curseth thee, will I curse; and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
4 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Abramu lọ bí Olúwa ti sọ fún un. Lọti náà sì bá a lọ. Abramu jẹ́ ẹni àrùndínlọ́gọ́rin ọdún nígbà tí ó jáde kúrò ní Harani.
So Abram departed, as the Lord had spoken unto him, and Lot went with him; and Abram was seventy and five years old at his departure out of Charan.
5 Abramu sì mú Sarai aya rẹ̀, àti Lọti ọmọ arákùnrin rẹ̀: gbogbo ohun ìní tí wọ́n ti kójọ àti àwọn ènìyàn tí wọ́n ní ní Harani. Wọ́n sì jáde lọ sí ilẹ̀ Kenaani. Wọ́n sì gúnlẹ̀ síbẹ̀.
And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had acquired, and the persons that they had obtained in Charan; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and they came into the land of Canaan.
6 Abramu sì rìn la ilẹ̀ náà já títí dé ibi igi ńlá kan tí à ń pè ni More ní Ṣekemu. Àwọn ará Kenaani sì wà ní ilẹ̀ náà.
And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Shechem, unto the plain of Moreh; and the Canaanite was then in the land.
7 Olúwa sì farahan Abramu, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Irú-ọmọ rẹ ni Èmi yóò fi ilẹ̀ yìí fún.” Abramu tẹ́ pẹpẹ kan síbẹ̀ fún Olúwa tí ó fi ara hàn án.
And the Lord appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land. And he built there an altar unto the Lord, who had appeared unto him.
8 Ó sì kúrò níbẹ̀ lọ sí agbègbè àwọn òkè kan ní ìhà ìlà-oòrùn Beteli, ó sì pàgọ́ rẹ̀ síbẹ̀. Beteli wà ní ìwọ̀-oòrùn, Ai wà ní ìlà-oòrùn. Ó tẹ́ pẹpẹ kan níbẹ̀ fún Olúwa, ó sì ké pe orúkọ Olúwa.
And he removed from there unto the mountain on the east of Beth-el, and pitched his tent, having Beth-el on the west, and 'Ai on the east; and he built there an altar unto the Lord, and called upon the name of the Lord.
9 Nígbà náà ni Abramu tẹ̀síwájú sí ìhà gúúsù.
And Abram journeyed farther, still going on toward the south.
10 Ìyàn kan sì mú ní ilẹ̀ náà, Abramu sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí Ejibiti láti ṣe àtìpó níbẹ̀ fún ìgbà díẹ̀, nítorí ìyàn náà mú gidigidi.
And there arose a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land.
11 Bí ó ti ku díẹ̀ kí ó wọ Ejibiti, ó wí fún Sarai, aya rẹ̀ pé, “Mo mọ̀ pé arẹwà obìnrin ni ìwọ,
And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a woman of handsome appearance:
12 nígbà tí àwọn ará Ejibiti bá rí ọ, wọn yóò wí pé, ‘Aya rẹ̀ nìyí.’ Wọn yóò si pa mí, ṣùgbọ́n wọn yóò dá ọ sí.
And it may come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they will say, This is his wife; and they may kill me, but thee they will save alive.
13 Nítorí náà, sọ pé, arábìnrin mi ni ìwọ, wọn yóò sì ṣe mí dáradára, a ó sì dá ẹ̀mí mi sí nítorí tìrẹ.”
Say then, I pray thee, thou art my sister, that it may go well with me for thy sake, and my soul live because of thee.
14 Nígbà tí Abramu dé Ejibiti, àwọn ará Ejibiti ri i pé aya rẹ̀ rẹwà gidigidi.
And it came to pass, when Abram was come into Egypt, that the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.
15 Nígbà tí àwọn ìjòyè Farao sì rí i, wọ́n ròyìn rẹ̀ níwájú Farao, wọ́n sì mú un lọ sí ààfin.
The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.
16 Ó sì kẹ́ Abramu dáradára nítorí Sarai, Abramu sì ní àgùntàn àti màlúù, akọ àti abo kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́, ìránṣẹ́kùnrin àti ìránṣẹ́bìnrin, pẹ̀lú ìbákasẹ.
And he did well to Abram for her sake; and he received sheep, and oxen, and he-asses, and men-servants, and maid-servants, and she-asses, and camels.
17 Olúwa sì rán àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn búburú sí Farao àti ilé rẹ̀, nítorí Sarai aya Abramu.
But the Lord plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram's wife.
18 Nítorí náà Farao ránṣẹ́ pe Abramu, ó sì wí fun pé, “Èwo ni ìwọ ṣe sí mi yìí? Kí ló dé tí ìwọ kò sọ fún mi pé aya rẹ ní í ṣe?
And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this thou hast done unto me? Why didst thou not tell me that she is thy wife?
19 Èéṣe tí o fi wí pé, ‘Arábìnrin mi ni,’ tí èmi sì fi fẹ́ ẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí aya? Nítorí náà nísinsin yìí, aya rẹ náà nìyí, mú un kí o sì máa lọ.”
Why saidst thou, She is my sister? and so I took her to me for a wife; now, therefore, behold, here is thy wife, take her, and go thy way.
20 Nígbà náà ni Farao pàṣẹ fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ nípa Abramu, wọ́n sì lé e jáde ti òun ti aya rẹ̀ àti ohun gbogbo tí ó ní.
And Pharaoh commanded some men concerning him, who accompanied him and his wife, and all that he had.
